Picard 1-motives and Tate sequences for function fields (Q2073995)

``In earlier work (see in particular [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2012, No. 5, 986--1036 (2012; Zbl 1254.11063)]) we studied a certain Picard \(1\)-motive attached to a Galois cover of smooth projective curves over finite fields, which lends itself to the formulation of an Equivariant Main Conjecture in the Iwasawa Theory of function fields. This 1-motive was introduced by Deligne in the 1970s [\textit{P. Deligne}, Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 44, 5--77 (1974; Zbl 0237.14003)] and played an important role in the Deligne-Tate proof of the Brumer-Stark conjecture for function fields [\textit{J. Tate}, Les conjectures de Stark sur les fonctions \(L\) d'Artin en \(s=0\). Notes d'un cours à Orsay rédigées par Dominique Bernardi et Norbert Schappacher. Boston-Basel-Stuttgart: Birkhäuser (1984; Zbl 0545.12009)]. In [Zbl 1254.11063] our further investigations of this object led to proofs of refinements of the Brumer-Stark and Coates-Sinnott conjectures for function fields.'' ``We use our previous work [Zbl 1254.11063] on the Galois module structure of \(l\)-adic realizations of Picard \(1\)-motives to construct explicit representatives in the \(l\)-adified Tate class (i.e. explicit \(l\)-adic Tate sequences, as defined in [\textit{J. Tate}, Nagoya Math. J. 27, 709--719 (1966; Zbl 0146.06501)]) for general Galois extensions of characteristic \(p > 0\) global fields. If combined with the Equivariant Main Conjecture proved in [Zbl 1254.11063], these results lead to a very direct proof of the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture for characteristic \(p > 0\) Artin motives with abelian coefficients.''
